Patented Feb. y27, 1940 PATENTv ortica SELF-CLEANING PUNCH David E. Stromberg and J oscph E. Carlsen, l Detroit, Mich.
Application September 23, 1938, Serial No. 231,297l jrs claims. (c1. 164-110) This invention relates to an improved self-x.
cleaning punch or die.
An object is to provide a punch which is` simple, an inexpensive, which is sturdy and of rugged rconstruction and which is entirely self-contained and self-cleaning.
This improved punch is particularly designed for the cutting of fiber `board and other similar sheet material but is capable of use with sheet "material of widely varying characteristics and is intended for such use wherever itl may be feasible. Hereto-fore punches designed for this use have required additional operations for removal ofthe slug or cut-out cut either from the sheet cf "material-upon which the punch operated vor from the punch itself if such Ycut out was retained by;
the punch after being withdrawn by the punch from the sheet.
vPunches have been provided with spring mech anism adapted to act upon that portion cut from the sheet punched to eject such cut out portion from the punch itself after 4the punch has lifted the cut out portion from the sheet. Such spring mechanism, however, generally functioned to act .on said lcut out portionto eject the same concurrently with the lifting o-f the punch itself from the sheet and as a result suchcut out portion was v ejected from the punch itself back into the aper- Y ture in the sheet. If the cutout portion could not pass -directly vthrough kthe aperture in the sheet or fall therefrom an additional operation was necessary for its removal.
Other types of punches have been provided wherein additional apparatus actuated by or responsive to mechanism on the press or punch operating mechanism was brought. into play. to eject the cut out portion `whichV normally remained with the cutting or knife part of the punch. `Such punches are not considered to be self-cleaning in that the cleaning of the punch is not accomplished by mechanism self-.contained within the punch itselfbut by auxiliary mechanism.
.This improved punch while self-cleaning is also self-contained-in that the cut out portionor `slug severed by the cutting edge of the punch is ejected from the punch by mechanism within the punch.
itself and is ejected in such a manner that. the
slug clears the aperture in the sheet formed by.
the severance of such cut out therefrom. This punch does not require additional operations vor mechanism for complete removal of such cut out.
An important feature of this invention is that the ejecting mechanism is so constructed and arranged thatits action is delayed so that the cut out is ejected from the punch only after the punch.l
has `been completely elevated above the sheet acted upon.
Another important feature is that this delayed I action ejecting mechanism is not only self-contained within 'the punch itself but is self-actuating in that it responds to clean the cut out portion from the punch after the punch has been lifted a determined spaced distance above the sheet of material acted upon by the punch and without the intervention of any additional or auxiliary apparatus actuated bythe press or punch operating machine but automatically when the punch attains a determined height above the sheet of 'materialpunched V 'After the punch has been lifted a determined spaced distance above the sheet of material from which the cut out portion has been severed the punch cleaning -or ejectingmechanism functions to eject the cut out portion from'the punch clear of the aperture formed in the sheet of material punched. By delaying vthe ejecting action the cut out portion is withdrawn entirely fromthe sheet of stockI material after the punch is retracted and'following such complete withdrawal is. then ejected from the punch. y v
Other objects, advantages, and meritorious features of this invention will more fully appear from vthe following description, appended claims,v and accompanying drawing, wherein: y Figurel illustrates in side elevation a punch-- embodying this invention,
Fig. 2 illustrates in cross-section a punch embodying'the invention in the position of severing. t
a portion from a sheet of material,
Fig. 3 4is a plan taken on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 4 is a View looking up at the bottom of the punch on'the line 4;-4 of Fig. 1,
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of a punch embodying the invention and broken away showing a slightly modified form of cutting edge,
Fig. 6 is a side elevation partly vbroken away of a punch embodying a modified form of my invention.
The improved punch is illustrated in the olraw-y ing and positioned for operation. The invention is shown'as 'embodied in a punch or die of cir cular contour. It is obvious that it might be of any desired shape. The shape shown is conventional and illustrative only. It is shown is con* nection'with a sheet of fiber board adapted to `be cut thereby. The extensive use of fiber board in terial with which the punch was capable of functioning.
'I'he punch will be carried by the movable part of a machine which will urge the same with sucient force against the sheet material to be cut by the punch so as to perform its intended function and such sheet material will of course be properly supported. One punch might be used or a multiplicity of punches might be mounted in a form which has moved toward and away from the sheet material to be cut thereby. This associated apparatus and machine mechanism is conventional construction and this invention re lates solely to the structure of the' self-contained punch itself and is not concerned with this associated mechanism.
In the drawing a sheet of material to be cut by the punch is indicated as I 0. Such material may, as above stated, be composition brous material. `'I'he punch itself embodies a body portion I2 sharpened at one end as at I4 to provide a cutting edge at such end. This body member is here shown as circular in cross-section and of tubular construction. It is provided with slots IB which are here shown as arranged in two opposed pairs and extending lengthwise of the body member from that end which is opposite the cut end toward the other end but the slots terminate spaced from such cutting end as shown particularly in Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 6.
The cutting end of the punch may be shaped as desired to serve its intended cutting purpose and depending upon the character of material and the character of the aperture desired to be' made. In Fig. 5 'a slightly diierent form of cutting edge is illustrated. These features have nothing to do with the invention herein claimed and it is obvious that any type of cutting bevel desired may be given to the cutting edge of the punch.
In the construction of Fig. 2 the cutting edge is beveled upon the inside as well as upon the outside Ywhile in Fig. 5 the cutting edge is straight on the inside and the bevel which is a multiple Y one is entirely on the outside surface.
The present invention concerns itself with suchV a punch provided with improved ejector or knock out mechanism adapted to knock the slug or cut out portion removed from the board by the punch out of the punch in such a manner that the punch will clear itself at all times during operation so that it may continue to function accurately and efficiently without the necessity of additional operations for its clearance and in such a man- -ner that it will not be left in the sheet of material from which it was severed.
This ejector mechanism is here shown as formed of a pair of strap elements which extend transversely throughl the body of the punch being disposed Within the slots I6. These strap elements cross each other within the body of the punch being disposed at right angles to one another and are so bent as to form a knock out y portion 2U within the body of the punch which is cup shaped so as to receive one end of a spring 22 the opposite end of which spring bears against a spring abutment in the form of a plate 24 which plate 24 is removably held Within the upper end of the punch by a snap ring 26. The spring tends to urge these ejector straps toward the cutting end of the punch so that normally they seat therein as determined by the length of the slots I6.
It will be noted that each strap is so shaped lthat the central knock out area 20 has end extensions which are U-shaped. Each of these U- shaped end extensions has a short leg 28 within the body of the punch and the base of the U or bridge portion 30 rides within the slot I6 and seats in the bottom of the slot under the pressure of the spring 22 as shown in Figs. l, 5 and 6.
Each U-shaped end extension has also a longv outer leg 32 which extends toward the cutting end of the punch outside of the punch body as shown in Figs. 1, 2, 5 and 6 and is of such a length that when the ejector straps or clips are seated in the ends of the grooves as shown in Fig. 1 these long leg portions 32 project sup-v,
stantially beyond the cutting end of the punch but the short legs are of such a length that the knock out portions 20 are supported within the body and do not project beyond the cutting end of the punch. It is due to this construction that the delayed action of the knock out which is av feature of primary importance is obtained. In
Figs. 1 and 2 these outer legs 32 bear directlyv cut thereby the legs 32 or the link 34 first er1-- gages such sheet and the continued dofwnward movement of the punch body is against yielding resistance of the spring 22 as the knock out or ejector which is made up of the cross straps or clips travels upwardly against the resistance of the spring. When the cutting edge of the punch comes in contact with the board the knock outl portion 2|) of the ejector is elevated substantially above theboard and this is true when the punch-I is pressed completely through the sheet of material to be cut as shown in Fig. 2.
In such figure it will be seen that a portion 38 has been severed from the board I0 and this portion forms a slug or knock out portion which,v
when the punch is elevated after completing its cutting operation will normally cling within the cutting end of the punch body and be lifted fromv the sheet of material by the punch. The knock out portion 20 of the ejector will not come into play to knock this portion 38 out of the punch body until the punch body has been lifted a suiiicient distance to permit the knock out portion to move downwardly as the spring expands. It
will therefore be seen that the punch body willk have completely cleared the board or sheet mate rial from which the cut out part was severed before the ejector functions to knock the slug i from the punch body. It is this delayed action of the punch which clears the cut out portionv in such a manner that it does not fall back within the' sheet of material from which it was cut and clears it entirely by the action of the punch mechanism itself as it moves away from the sheet operated upon. tirely automatic in its functioning. It is selfcontained within the punch. It is simple and inexpensive in construction. If the spring 22 is broken the plate 24 may be removed and another spring inserted in place. Repair is easily accomplished.
